Go back to my previous post and please check between which two things I made the analogy and then you may realise your reply missed the mark. The comp...
Yes, I read that and I recall we already went over the fact she wasn't legally incapacitated in which case the court cannot order any treatment. At le...
This is a very pessimistic characterisation. My Skoda Octavia is not woefully inadequate simply because the ultimate car still has to be invented. It'...
I thought you were a lawyer; forced hospitalisation is not forced treatment. In any case, het condition was not acute so the necessary requirement for...
Only if you can show that she was incapable of making rational decisions and therefore legally incapacitated, in which case the decision would fall to...
The factor in deciding whether euthanisia is appropriate isn't whether it's terminal but the level of suffering and whether that situation can improve...
Thanks for trying to reason with the person who hasn't been raped but already knows he can live with it the next day as long as he's physically alrigh...
It's probably been pointed out already but she committed suicide and this wasn't euthanisia. She starved herself and the Dutch code of ethics for doct...
She's not taken seriously because objectivism is crap. When she's right, she's unoriginal and when she's wrong, it's clear she isn't aware of philosop...
But I am a jerk to people who think Rand has anything useful to say. That's not for their benefit but for this site as to minimise their presence by m...
What nonsense is this? Apart from the multitude of fallacies in her work, like deriving ethics from a logical tautology (I mean, wtf?!). She further g...
It seems to me you complain about what people take issue with in the Trump thread and his child separation and the intensity of their disapproval in t...
The US had to make a decision between throwing everything and the kitchen sink at him so that there's a higher probability something will stick when h...
There can be no extradition in the event of a possibility of a death penalty. Presumably the extradition request will have assurances that the death p...
I think that's a false analogy. That's fine for a website, excluding people who don't meet certain criteria or who breach the rules. I'm not convinced...
Funny how we have different interpretations of this thread. My take away is there is no consensus on what qualifies as speech. If "actions speak loude...
This is one of the better threads in quite some time in my view. Even if it might be frustrating to see intelligent people disagreeing on some fundame...
I'm replying sideways to csalisbury, streetlightX and Noble Dust I guess. We can commentate without participating and still know what we're talking ab...
Yeah, I suppose because it's done for the greater good it's all fine and dandy and totally lessens the vindictiveness of it all. :chin: And some suppo...
Well admittedly, Trump did manage to raise taxes through tariffs without anyone complaining about it. No mean feat in the US. I think he's secretly a ...
Might be in the automatic filter; it sometimes picks up things it shouldn't. When they (moderators) find time they'll check it. Alternatively, there w...
The insults are unnecessary and you certainly can't expect a European to be as informed or even interested in the details of certain aspects of US pol...
Politics isn't about facts most of the time. Once I've got you classified as a Conservative I obviously don't have to listen to you because of course ...
I stand corrected. I was going on reporting in the Guardian and that linked the tweet in my post which had one possible meaningful explanation. The tw...
not entirely, because it means American consumers wouldn't notice the effect of the tariffs as prices would remain more or less the same. So while tec...
There's one possibility you're overlooking though and that's when the Chinese government increased subsidies to compensate for the tariffs. I don't kn...
You're straw manning up the ying yang. Nobody here made issue with the number of deported but the treatment of immigrants. Obama deported illegal immi...
Wishful thinking I'm afraid. Biden is just ms. Clinton but with a dick. That is to say, mainstream Democrats don't appeal as much as you think. Trump'...
1. I'm a guy. 2. There are sanctions against me calling my wife's friends "bitch". 3. My wife and her friend say "bitch" without sanctions. C. Therefo...
This process of a group of people co-opting a word originally intended as derogatory of that group as a badge of honour is a very common process. That...
Lock him up! Lock him up! EDIT: Whatever. We all know the economy is humming along nicely and Trump will get re-elected. Meanwhile, the Democrats stil...
Were those national passports or documents guaranteeing safe passage? Precursors to national passports have existed even in Eqypt before the Roman emp...
It's interesting to put this in a historic context. We've been issuing passports since about 1912 (taking the Brits) and the rest of Europe a bit late...
I haven't read or heard what Paglia has to say about rape so I'm just going by what people have written here. It appears as if Paglia has chosen bad w...
Why must it be personal and not what he has done, oh, say, to immigrant families by separating kids from parents? How many lies does a person have to ...
But can you get "the facts straight" when there's no clear understanding of what collussion is and how the facts described by Mueller would fit? It ju...
Painkillers? I don't know where you live but at least in the Netherlands you can get support in weening off of drugs. It would make sense to get that ...
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to pursue this line of reasoning. As you say, the report has not looked into collusion because it is not a crimin...
Which immediately underlines their wonderful, irrational cognitive dissonance "my culture/race is superior but I'm still afraid to be subjugated by fo...
